In life Derelorn was a simple woodsman
who sought neither glory not recognition. He was denied that simple
life when the settlement he lived in came under attack. The settlement
was on the outskirts of the kingdom so imperial patrols were rare.
When the settlement came under constant raids by a powerful orc
tribe the decision had to be made to run or fight. Derelorn himself
suggested leaving but his wife's family members called his decision
cowardly. They chose to stay and defend their homes and farms. Derelorn
stayed behind shamed and shunned. The orcs came, but in greater
numbers than expected. Farms were torched and families killed. Seeing
the slaughter, Derelorn began to feel guilty and the weight of his
shame became unbearable. Grabbing his axe, Derelorn ran to defend
the homesteads of those who had shunned him. He fought with the
fury of a mad demon saving many that day until finally he was killed
when 10 orcs hauled him to the ground and planted a dagger through
his heart. Derelon's axe was taken as a trophy by an orc in the
tribe who respected the power of such an enemy. Later, the orc who
took the axe was gripped with wild emotions and killed several members
of his own tribe before being killed himself. The axe was thought
to be cursed by the dead woodsman's spirit so the orcs sent the
runt of the tribe, who had run in battle, to get rid of it. The
cowardly orc left the village but when the axe tried to communicate
with him he threw it away in fear.
